Water cooling the Chipsets,, EVGA 680i

[puttekula]

I dont separate the numbers, I average them. I use ambient air temps, not water temps to get deltaT.

I mean, to make an Excel calculation automatic there must be separate fields for each number.

Air temp, ok. But to compare results (among other people) regarding blocks only there must be in calculation the effectivness of the rads and fans etc. I count it as three steps. 1. the air temp. 2 the water temp. 3 the temp of the cpu/gpu or whatever.
You can never get the watertemp below air temp. And for sure the cputemp below watertemp. Please correct me if Im wrong...

Sigh, open this in excel.

That looked ok. Thats what i mean. But this comes in .xls format and I can only have it in .csv. Im perhaps stupid or something but I cant manage the TAT to make an .xls file...

thx

What I use on mine :



Just make sure ur using some form of stabilizer on the NB with te MCW30, they chip easy apperently. Looks like mine is but its just my crappy camera thankfully

nice rig OPP


i was hoping that there would be some more info on testing of that motherboard with stock chipset cooler vs watercooled loop considering the thread title is Water cooling the Chipsets,, EVGA 680i

It's Sunday, back to my project

I decided to play a little with this GTS vid card. Looks to be pretty solid with stock voltage at 700/1200.
Running 01 with my 24/7 speed at 3750 (the case completely closed) I'm getting some respectable numbers I think.

After some memory optimizing and 3D tweaks,,, same CPU and GPU speed.

Im using Swiftech MCW30 blocks. I'll take some pictures Sunday.

Did you get those pictures yet?

Not yet, tomorrow I will.

I use DD maze 4 and VC-RE on mine. i dont know if u can see but EK block makes my g80 bend a little bit.

[STEvil]

a minor slightly OT (on topic lol) for TAT.

Has anyone considered running it twice and setting core affinity if needed?

I'm doing a review on this Mountain Mods case. I switched over my gear from my old Lian Li case the other day.
I built a 1/2" loop with some 1/4" "F" fittings, using the 1/4" in parallel to cool my chipset coolers.
I'm going to use this rig as my silent 24/7 PC. The loop is cool as hell and works great, I just had to show off

That is a gts in there right 360 ... are you not running a shroud ?

the fans are sucking the air out of the case ?....How are your temps

[OPPAINTER]

Did you get those pictures yet?

Here are a few pictures.

A pair of Swiftech MCW30 chipset blocks.



To get the MCW30 to fit under the card, I simply used a ¾” 4-40 screw, I used a nut on the back of the board.



Here is where the outgoing ¼ and ½ join with the “F” fitting just before going into the Rad.



And some 3D action.

Good god man, how much voltage are you running through that E6600 to get it to 4.1gHz? And what are your temps like?

I'm useing 1.58v, real voltage.
Completely unstable for most apps. If I try and run a full load test it hits 70c and blue screens.

No, that's a Swiftech MCR360QP...

I found that running these Corsair 8888 Dominators at this higher speed with the 2T timings actually gave me better 3D runs then running the memory at 1T 3-3-3 around 800MHz.

[OPPAINTER]

I threw a pair of OCZ 8800GTX cards in for quick test.
The cards are doing about 660/1100.

Nice to see you back in action Opp.

Great rig and some sweet watercooled results.

[JamesTX10]

Here are some "fit" pictures for the coolers.


The GTX full cover will just miss touching the SB cooler.

That looks promising. My only concern is, doesn't it prevent you from using half of your USB headers ??? thx.

[JamesTX10]

It is close but the header will fit. That pic is at a little bit of an angle. If it was top down you would see the space. I will get some more pictures as I put it all back together. Hopefully this week. Waiting on the new case from MM

Thanks!!! Will order that Alphacool block from PPC's this morning

[stormshadow]

this thread inspired me....

so i joined the "F" barb 1/4" chipset offshoot loop crew lol...
